Worst Comedies
 

Chatting with coworkers, one of them was talking about how Dumb and Dumber is his favorite comedy. For me, hearing that was worthy of a good puking.

Ironically, this is kind of how I felt when I heard that.

Attachment 10869

My least favorite comedies, in no particular order:

- Dumb and Dumber
- The Hangover
- Anything directed by Tyler Perry
- Sister Act
- Elf
- Austin Powers
- Wayne's World
- This is Spinal Tap

I know Dumb and Dumber is a classic, am I crazy for hating it? And I will argue to the death that Spinal Tap is completely unfunny.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

That's my Boy-this is a vile,disgusting,putrid unfunny mess of a film. This film is complete garbage. Adam Sandler hit new lows with this one. This is about as funny as the Holocaust.

Dinner with Schmucks-god this film was painfully unfunny. Horrid

Hangover Part 2-this film was a replica of the first Hangover. This film sucked. One of the laziest sequels ever made.

A Haunted House-complete turd, even worse than all those scary movie films

epic movie,disaster movie,date movie,meet the spartans,etc. All these films are abominations.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Envy

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Starring Ben Stiller and Jack Black as two best friends, one makes millions off a spray that vanishes poo while the other becomes insanely jealous of him.

The.

Worst.

I remember really wanting to watch that when it first came out, upon Wikipedia'ing as I write this I'm really considering re-evaluating my life choices

Edit: I'm dumb and forgot to keep my post relevant to the topic, I'd have to say the worst comedy I've ever seen is Jack and Jill. You know, the Adam Sandler flick? It's garbage. Absolute garbage.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Some more crap comedies:

Grown Ups-lazy,lazy,lazy. No effort goes into making this film. The jokes are stale and corny. Nothing to see here.

Jack and Jill-Need I say more? Have not seen it and never plan to, but I think we are all aware of how godawful this movie is.

The Sitter-this film was awful. Not funny,not clever,not unique. Just a tedious film that I couldn't wait for it to end.

18 year old virgin-awful film. This is basically a ****** soft core porno.

Project X-bad film. I didn't hate it that much but this deserves to be listed. This film is completely brain-dead,void of any heart or humor, is cynical and just complete garbage for the masses to eat up. This is a stupid film for stupid people.

Employee of the Month-dane cook is not funny..at all. Do not watch this crappy movie.

Okay, I disagree on SO many of these. I have, however not seen a single Tyler Perry film, nor do I wish to see one, so I cannot comment on their quality or lack thereof. And Sister Act was one of my mum's favorite movies so it gets a pass from me.

But I will defend This Is Spinal Tap to the death. That is a masterwork. It's so well made that people actually believed that Spinal Tap were a real band. MTV ran their video for Hell Hole for months before realizing it was a sham and then banned them from the airwaves. And this was with the obviously recognizable Michael McKean as the lead singer, too. The film is endlessly quotable, it takes the piss out of every rock band known at the time, from the Beatles to Kiss to Black Sabbath, and even Led Zeppelin. Some of the songs are even really great hard rock songs! It's one of the best comedies ever, in my opinion.

Bad Comedies?

-any of the "epic movie/date movie/disaster movie" series. Making reference to something is not the same thing as making a joke. Everyone needs to stop seeing these so that they will stop making them.

The above are some that spring to mind, can't really think of anything else.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

American Pie Presents: The Book of Love
Little Man
Soul Plane
White Chicks
Ghostbusters

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I have never understood the appeal of DUMB AND DUMBER either. I definitely agree with you regarding SOUL PLANE and WHITE CHICKS, but GHOSTBUSTERS? Seriously? You're entitled to your opinion, but I think that was a fantastic movie and a deserved classic. Actually, the first movie that popped into my head when I saw the title of this thread was NORBIT.

Superbad is exactly that. Other bad ones are:

Meet the Parents
The Hangover
Role Models
40 Year old virgin
Horrible Bosses

Re: Worst Comedies
 

With the exception of Dumb and Dumber, Wayne's World, This is Spinal Tap and Ghostbusters, all of which I liked/loved, I've not seen any of the other films mentioned because... Well, they all looked crap, :shrug:

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Freddy Got Fingered... truly awful!

Not a big fan of comedies by any means. But anything by Adam Sandler these are very very bad!

American Pie after the first one is ****.
Hate Hangover series.
Don't like Dumb and Dumber. They were good in a cartoon, not in a movie.
Not all movie i hate. Sacry movie 1,2,3 were good. After that were crap.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Mean Girls (**** this movie!)
Dumber & Dumberer (for those who hate the first)
The Movie movies including Meet the Spartans and the rest of the parody movies that those idiots made!
Freddy Got Fingered
The Fred trilogy
American Pie and all it's awful sequels
Master of Disguise (you include Wayne's World, but not this piece of ****?!)
All the ****** Dr. Suess movies that try to be comedies
Elf
Everything from Adam Sandler except Happy Gilmore, Grown Ups, and That's My Boy

Re: Worst Comedies
 

The Dictator-this film was painfully unfunny. Some okay jokes here and there, but it's nothing original or inventive

Good Luck Chuck-dane cook is awful. This film really sucks

Waiting 2- I really like the first waiting film. This 2nd one was complete garbage.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

What didn't you like about it?

That's a kinky title, but I guess the movie itself is horrible!

Personal note: It would be easier to write down good comedy films and it would be quite a challenge to me, since I find most of them utterly pathetic and unfunny.

The film is also misleading as the "fingering" is a lie Tom Green tells about his brother getting abused as a kid. It is just a piece of crap and not kinky at all.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I disagree with a lot of those, though I'm not a huge fan of them all either. Many were okay.

I liked Elf a lot. The first two Austin Powers were great, the third pretty weak. Spinal Tap is overrated IMO, but wasn't bad. Like I said, I found most of these (that I've seen) were okay, some I am quite fond of, but not many I'd consider particularly bad.

It has no plot! For something to be funny, you need plot, damn it! Not one thing in Mean Girls is regarded as 'funny'. It's just annoyance to the max with everything eather being sexual, loud, or obnoxious. It has that lier revealed cliche that i can't stand. It's ****ing terrible and I don't see how anybody could like this pile of *******. If you want a good high school comedy, watch 21 Jump Street.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Mean Girls is better. I saw them both last month, but whatever. :)

In my opinion, Mean Girls is ****ing terrible. And I'm a minority on this. I will never get the appeal of this awful movie. And what's worst is........... There's a sequel!

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Watched this a few nights ago, definitely deserves to be up there with the worst:


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._43_poster.jpg

Re: Worst Comedies
 

That movie got so much ****. I really don't get how bad it can be. Really gotta see it.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Well, if this thread exists, better be full of these sorts of films:

Howard the Duck

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...%281986%29.jpg

If Howard the Duck is supposed to be funny, then I'm supposed to be funny. Howard, an anthropomorphic duck from Duck World, or DuckTales (woo!) or whatever, travels to our world for some inexplicable reason and becomes involved with Lea Thompson. And when I say involved, there's an entire scene of sexual tension that made me want to be sick. Nothing happens for a good sixty minutes, and then some demon comes to "destroy the world" or something. "Hilarity" ensues.

The Master of Disguise

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...erdisguise.jpg

Dana Carvey is a comedian from Saturday Night Live, and was apparently funny on it. Here, he repeats "turtle" in a "Turtle Club" for a good ten minutes. Apparently its funny. It isn't. Did I say this was produced by Happy Madison Productions?

The Love Guru

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-Love_guru.jpg

I don't get this film. I don't understand what Mike Myers was trying to do. With the Austin Powers movies (well, the first two or the first one depending on your preference), he crafted a brilliant satire of the James Bond movies, and the entire British spy genre. Here, Guru Maurice Pitka makes veiled references to Law and Order. Yes, its about as funny as Scary Movie 4. Scary Movie 3 is better.

Little Nicky

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ttle_nicky.jpg

Popeye's Chicken is ****ing ****. Little Nicky stars Adam Sandler, as a mentally challenged son of the devil. He has leave hell to get his brothers back who plan on creating their on kingdom of hell, on Earth (yes, Hell on Earth). He is accompanied by Patricia Arquette and a talking dog.

Year One

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...x-Year_one.jpg

If the character Jack Black plays in this film is truly one of our ancestors, then how did he breed? The same goes for Michael Cera. Basically, something happens in Black and Cera's village, so they go on an adventure, meeting figures from the bible along the way. And it's not funny.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Howard the Duck kicks the asses of the other movies in your post. :)

I do agree. It is kind of endearing but I just couldn't take it seriously, and it is god awful :p

Nah, the chick is Patricia Arquette, she's been in some decent stuff. The one from Dodgeball is Christine Taylor, Ben Stiller's wife, and I haven't seen her in anything really good. Other than retard comedies like Zoolander, which I love.

I actually like Little Nicky, I don't get all the hate. I'm not the biggest Adam Sandler fan, his first bunch of films I didn't like. But this, I thought was funny.

You are right. An easy mistake to make though. I've edited it in the post now.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Little Nicky deserves more than for this.

http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/movie/...cky/cross2.jpg

Little Nicky was only funny in certain parts. I seem to remember one being the cola/pepsi part.

Oh man I liked Master of Disguise and Little Nicky not because they are meant to be a brilliant comedy but just to sit back and laugh at the movie in itself, I think both movies don't take themselves too seriously.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Disaster Movie! Yuck!

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Another vote for "Year One". Me and my friends switched it off after 20 minutes and then snapped the DVD.

Howard The Duck is a pretty good comic book movie. The "demons" are like lovecraftian aliens from some alternate hellish reality, and they get here via the same experiment that accidentally pulled Howard from his own alternate reality.

http://www.tomheroes.com/images/COMI...gazine%207.jpg

^Holy crap, that is retarded. I don't even usually like calling anything "retarded", tbh, but that is such a retarded comment. There aren't enough faces and palms in the world.

I think that The Hangover, 40 Year Old Virgin and Meet the Parents were pretty good films, Superbad was almost a great film.

I thought all 4 were good comedies too. The worst comedy for me is Kazaam. I don't even know if it was trying to be a comedy, but i hope to god it was.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Yeah, some of the worst comedies I watched:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ovieposter.jpg

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ans_poster.jpg

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ilm_poster.jpg

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...emanposter.jpg

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Date_movie.jpg

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ses_poster.jpg

Yes, I managed to watch all these movies.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I think it's important to watch bad movies since you become spoiled if you only watch good movies.

I think only watching good movies, helps me even out my rating system. When you're constantly giving films 10/10, you eventually have to differentiate between them. I know it's a stupid reason, but at the end of the day you never have to watch films like Kazaam :p

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I actually give 10/10 to about 80 movies I have watched. I could differentiate but then my ratings would be too rigorous and, anyway, true great movies cannot be differentiated by simple rating systems since they are complex and can be inferior or superior to other films in many different ways.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Life's too short to force yourself to sit through *****.

I myself watch certain bad movies because I am a masochist.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I don't see the point in watching bad films when you can watch a great one instead. Life is pretty short and there's a heckload of great films out there to see.

Because sometimes a certain bad movie comes around and becomes a very memorable experience. And those can be just as fun to talk about.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Some bad movies are fun, some great movies are not.

I don't know about you but I expect to live over a 100 years old. Given the progress of medical technology and that I have a healthy diet and do some exercising everyday. I expect to have still about 80 years of lifetime to watch TV. :)

Also, masterpieces are not obvious! You don't know when you will find one: I never expected to find a masterpiece in films like the PMMM duology. If you "love" only the movies that others tell you to love you are actually being masochistic. You never know which movies you are going to consider great beforehand so you actually have to watch bad movies to sort things out.

Action men doing comedies have got to be the worst.

Tooth Fairy
The Pacifier
Hudson Hawk (not funny but still watchable)
Stop or my mum willl shoot

I did like Kindergarten Cop though.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I liked THE PACIFIER as well as KINDERGARTEN COP...no argument that STOP OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT was a steaming pile of crap.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Scary Movie,awful.
Dumb and Dumberer. I was expecting something like Dumb and Dumber but it was terrible.
Look Who's Talking,the first movie was very enjoyable.The sequels were very disappointing.

Not that impressed with either of the Johny English movies

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I couldn't agree more regarding EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH and Dane Cook...a complete waste of celluloid.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

You're talking about how awful a movie is and you haven't seen it?

Re: Worst Comedies
 

The worst comedy I've seen would probably be Envy (2004) with Jack Black and Ben Stiller. It's basically a ninety minute string of poop jokes though admittedly Christopher Walken is kind of fun to watch.

Meet Dave with Eddie Murphy would be a close second.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Death to Smoochy is just sad. I feel bad for everyone the camera is pointed at. I thought maybe I just wasn't getting it, but no. Who the hell was that movie aimed at? Not the worst comedy I've ever seen but it's pretty bad.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Year One

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Land of the Lost was horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Oh god, someone got me Year One on DVD, it's still in the wrapper.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I think just about every "Movie" comedy (save some scary movies and not another teen) are down right terrible.

They jump from joke scene to joke scene and thats all the movie really is and jokes are painfully bad most of the time.

Atleast Scary Movie tied in lampoons of other horror movies into a single familiar story line that made it funny, i feel like the later and other ones try to put in too many jokes from too many movies and they fall hard.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Vampire's sucks..!!! Worst comedy movie

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Adam Sandler's Jack and Jill- I honestly don't think it could get worse

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Adam Sandler's Little Nicky.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Little Fockers.
Both its predecessors Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers were fairly good comedies.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I don't remember the exact title, but it was something like Papi Sweet, Latino comedy. Some of my friends forced me to watch it witht hem.
Really regret the time spent.

I agree, the first one was a pretty good comedy, the sequel was ok but this was utter crap, it was like faeces wrapped in a skunk carcass left out in 50 degrees of heat.

But there is something that is worse, something dreadful...I wish I had ripped out my eyeballs before watching this...this abomination is:

EVAN ALMIGHTY

The single worst movie ever made!

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I remember Grown Ups being absolutely dreadful and I couldn't get through it.

Tried to watch Hangover 3 tonight, got about 30 minutes in and turned it off. I think I'm going to wipe the existence of H2 and H3 out of my head.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Monster-in-Law. The presence of Jane Fonda in the cast made me want to see it.Also the first time I saw Jennifer Lopez as an actress.Disappointing movie.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

After the first two movies,the American Pie series went downhill pretty fast.I am looking
forward to watching American Reunion,though.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Jim Carrey is also a classic but I tend to sitch the TV off once I see him.
Everyone has their own taste - that's OK.

Jim Carrey is also a classic but I tend to switch the TV off once I see him.
Everyone has their own taste - that's OK.

that's deep brah

Re: Worst Comedies
 

The Police Academy sequels. The first one was great, but the rest were crap.

Wagons East! gets my vote. Not only is a god awful movie in every way it was also John Candy's last movie. :(

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Don't understand all the hate for ENVY...I didn't think it was that bad.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Yeah I suppose if you had started this thread with the obvious films like Epic Movie and Daddy Day Camp no one would have responded so I can see why you added good films like Dumb n Dumber, Sister Act and The Hangover.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Tyler perry. I don't understand how he can keep churning out garbage at such a high volume..

Here's 5 just off the top of my head in no particular order

1. Its Pat
2. all the scary movies and their spin offs
3. vampire in Brooklyn
4. Beverly hills ninja
5. Nacho libre

yeah I remember what a horrible, horrible disappointment that was.

Wow this is a hard thread for me... because I dont like comedies that are made in the United States... .. I actually like European comedies

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Scary movie 5...

Re: Worst Comedies
 

- Almost every Adam Sandler's movies.
- movies like vampires suck, or scary movie's sequels, meet the spartans, disaster movie etc. which are other movies unfunny parodies
- son of the mask
- Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
- Pluto Nash
- Freddy Got Fingered
- The Love Guru
- Howard The Duck
- White chicks

Re: Worst Comedies
 

I totally agree with you regarding Dumb and Dumber, but I think This is Spinal Tap is brilliant.

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Re: Worst Comedies
 

Anything with Will Ferrell, for some reason I can't stand him. The Dumb and Dumber movies are horrible to me. I can't stand the Austin Powers films either.

Re: Worst Comedies

Housos Vs. Authority. How bad is it? I watched it a couple of days after watching Disaster Movie and thought that it might actually be worse. Watch that clip and imagine that level of humour being thrown in your face for 100 minutes.
